Katie's Study Abroad Tuition Fund
Donation protected
Hi friends and fam! As many of you know, I am embarking on a study abroad adventure to Florence, Italy through the Gonzaga-in-Florence program this upcoming fall. I could not be more excited! As a nursing student attending Gonzaga University, this fall is the only time that I am able to study abroad before I start my studies in the nursing school.
Unfortunately, this past week I received a bill from the university stating that I must pay over $6,000 for tuition by August 5th. I have been crunching numbers all week, but while I have been working part-time throughout the school year and full time during the summer, I have not made enough to fund both my tuition and the $4,000 minimum required by the program. I thought that I could turn to student loans to help, but when I reached out to the financial aid office, I was told that I cannot take out anymore loans.
It would mean a great deal to me to reach this goal of $2,500 because not only will this experience be lifechanging, but I have also been planning to visit relatives whom I haven't seen in years. The study abroad program was something that caught my eye when I committed to Gonzaga, and I have been looking forward to traveling Europe and visiting my family since before I applied back in November.
Any donation amount would be immensely appreciated. I wish that this was not the road that I had to turn to, and I cannot thank you enough for supporting me through what I believe will be an incredible experience! My gratitude is endless.
Thank you,
Katie
